Two months ago, after just 4 months of operations, Malaysian startup MYAirline reached a big milestone after flying half 1,000,000 passengers. And today, the airline achieved yet one more milestone because it celebrates flying over a million passengers – a strong testament to the labor of the airline’s employees and its growing popularity.
A million passengers in six months
MYAirline is dedicating this special occasion to its passengers and the broader MYAirline community to commemorate this significant milestone achieved in only over six months of operations. The airline is clearly delighted to have fun this achievement, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all those that have contributed to this remarkable journey.

Today’s occasion was marked as passengers from Kuching International Airport arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 at 15:00, where they were greeted with a present at the luggage area. All passengers from MYAirline flight Z9 8104 received surprise boxes that contained an array of freebies.
These included an exclusive MYAirline merchandise collection and money vouchers sponsored by Plaza Premium Lounge. Ten lucky passengers received return flight tickets to top destinations inside Malaysia operated by MYAirline. Celebrating this remarkable milestone was Rayner Teo, the airline’s Chief Executive Officer, as he highlighted:
“We’re thrilled to have fun this incredible accomplishment of surpassing a million passengers after six months since our first flight launch. This success wouldn’t have been possible without the continual support and trust of our valued passengers.

Gratitude to the team
The low-cost carrier first began flight services last December, and today’s achieved milestone further highlights that MYAirline has been receiving a consistently high load factor previously six months of operations – a mean of 91%. And while passengers evidently play a big role through loyalty, the airline also recognizes the labor put in by every worker.
Maximum efforts have helped bring MYAirline to where it’s today. Because the airline reflected on the rapid growth of its fleet – from just three aircraft and now eight, the continued growth of its route network from three to now over nine, and the various milestones achieved, MYAirline believes all of it exemplifies every worker’s dedication to making sure the airline is Malaysia’s most reliable carrier.
Moreover, the low-cost carrier appreciates how every worker guarantees every passenger the very best experience on the bottom and within the air. Teo expressed his utmost gratitude to having probably the most wonderful employees, or ‘MYAirline family’ as he calls it, by saying:
“We remain committed to providing exceptional services and memorable experiences as we proceed to grow and serve the MYAirline community. This celebration is a testament to the labor and dedication of your complete MYAirline family, who’ve consistently ensured excellent on-time performance and delivered top-notch services.”

Spreading those wings internationally
However the budget carrier isn’t done reaching latest milestones yet, as starting tomorrow on, June twenty eighth, MYArline shall be spreading its wings beyond Malaysia because it launches the primary international route from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. The airline may also launch flight services to Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport on July 1st.
This may make MYAirline the primary Malaysian carrier to operate in two different airports in Bangkok. In keeping with Teo, the airline will begin with one flight per day before advancing progressively to 4 flights per day. The airline head also highlighted a possible expansion of its presence in Thailand, with flights planned for Phuket, Krabi, and Chiang Mai later this yr.

And beyond Thailand, MYAirline also plans to start flight services to Indonesia – primarily Bali and Jakarta, and to Vietnam and Singapore. With a route network expansion in progress, the startup airline can also be trying to arrange a second hub either in Kota Kinabalu or Kuching, all before the year-end. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how much greater MYAirline would have grown this December during its first operational anniversary.
